A SECURITY GUARD who was accused by his employer of walking away from his post has been awarded €20,000.
Philips Uzoma (the claimant) took his case against his employer, GZ Professional Security Limited (the respondent), who claimed that he had been dismissed for poor performance in his role.
The Employment Appeals Tribunal has found that the respondent in this case had not followed due process in dismissing the claimant and as such the claim was successful.
How did this come about?
The claimant had 10 year’s experience in the job when difficulties began to occur.
On 11 October 2012 his employer claims that he walked away from his position guarding a client’s premises – leaving it without cover for more than an hour. In response to this the claimant says that the other member of staff who was meant to cover his shift at 11pm was habitually late, and he decided to take action to highlight this.
His employer was unclear as to whether Uzoma was being paid for overtime when his replacement arrived late.
Things escalated after this.
The claimant was later moved to a different branch of the fast food restaurant he was assigned to guard, something that he was not happy about, and was given a written warning after his employer claimed that he had spoken aggressively to the HR managing director.
Later more letters were sent to the claimant saying that his performance had not been up to standard. His employer said that these were intended as way of a final written warning – despite not mentioning this explicitly.
Uzoma also had his pay reduced without explanation from €13 to €11 an hour in May 2013.
The judgement
It was decided by the tribunal that the respondent did have documented procedure in place for dealing with allegations against an employee.
It decided that these procedures were not followed in the course of arriving at the dismissal and, as such, the employee was not given a fair chance to voice his side of the argument – something that “could not be described as fair”.
As a result of this, he was awarded €20,000 under the Unfair Dismissals Act.

Aged between 12 and 14 … Just shows evil has no age .. How can you protect against that
the sad thing is he may not have willingly worn it -
Adults should know better, but a kid that young has clearly been severely indoctrinated (as have all of Daesh’s foot soldiers). Tragic and heinous attack.
He may not have known what he was wearing
There are a lot of reports of young children/teens being manipulated into performing suicide bombings, with their families and friends being threatened. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to be put in that position.
@Steve McMahon-By stopping immigration from this Ideology masquerading as a religion we can at least partially protect ourselves ,-but it’s coming our way for sure under existing conditions.
Erdogan appears to have incredible investigative powers, has definitively solved this one a few hours after the event. Just like the coup, where the entire civil service was gutted a couple of days later.
@Michael Garvey-But Erdogan does have his admirers,-one being What-difference-does-it-make-now-Hillary Clinton!

He prob is forceful, devout and ambitious.
And now he has said they have no idea what age the perpetrator was
So Erdogan is saying this.Ya,I’ll believe it.
Equating the PKK to Daesh is a nice slice of doublethink and propaganda from Erdogan alright.
Wonder if the lady who is mentironed above is the mother who lost 4 of her children ….horrendous loosing one child is unthinkable but 4 …I have no words.
“The president said the Islamic State group was the “likely perpetrator” of the bomb attack, the deadliest in 2016, that targeted a celebration attended by many Kurds.”
Yeah, because I hear that out of the two of them it’s IS that hates the Kurds the most, and not Erdogan. Uh huh.
These so called Islamists are the devil’s disiples,nothing else.They are not Muslims and have no right whatsoever to quote the Koran or shout allahu akbar! None ! So next time when young men and women are in their bedroom on their computer being brainwashed on the ideology that they should carry out their “duty “to Muhammad by murdering innocent people,realise that you are doing it for the Devil ok No one else.you are NOT Muslims. You are vicious murdering brutes with no rational cause and are not going to be with 7 lovely brides in paradise. You are just going to burn in hell.
@Gerry Fallon-The Koran the Islamists use to justify themselves is the same Koran that all other Muslim use and Muslims will not tolerate any revision of its contents saying that the commands of Allah are unalterable.
All Muslims pay the Annual 2.5% ZAKAT Charity tax amounting to over $200 Billion and 1/8th of this is earmarked by Sharia Law for Jihad against non-Muslims and apostates. This is stated unequivocally in the Hanbook of Sharia Law called ‘The Reliance of the Traveller’ see below and link.All Muslims know where this money goes to and so all Muslims are complicit in Global Terror against non-Muslims and Apostaes.

The seventh category is those fighting for Allah, meaning people engaged in Islamic military operations for whom no salary has been allotted in the army roster (O: but who are volunteers for jihad without remuneration).

Strange for ISIS to be attacking their biggest ally?
One of their biggest allies, I think.
Anyway, is their any rational thinking to be expected from them?
Vile pigs
Watched some of the funerals of the victims on Turkish TV would break your heart so many small coffins …..one of a 3 month old baby . The heartbroken mother who lost 4 of her children said that what stopped her from taking her own life to be with her children was that she had a child still living who needed her.
have your say
